And the fuel needed to boil 10 pints of water = ?  The jetboil sol combo included at least that much fuel

I have also solved the weight issue by leaving the stove at home.

Good afternoon, Havasu,

My stuff:

Cat stove  =  0.7 oz.

Support  =  1.3 oz.

Shield  =  0.4 oz.

Pot w/lid  =  4.2 oz.

Storage sack  = 0.5 oz.

TOTAL  =  7.1 oz.

By setting the stove on the ends of three tent pegs I can leave the support
home, but I like the security it provides.  For the last 5 years I've
reduced that weight to zero by eating cold food.

Enjoy your planning,

Steel-Eye
